The European Pied Flycatcher is a woodland migrant. In British breeding areas, males are black and white with two white marks on the forehead; females are more subdued brown and white.
Males returning to British breeding areas have black-and-white plumage and two white marks on the forehead. Females are brown and white, with less striking plumage.
The British population returns in spring and leaves its breeding areas in late summer, crossing the Sahara on its autumn journey to wintering grounds. In Britain it breeds in mature upland deciduous woods in the west and north.
